  • @SPOWDA20 1999 air jordan 3 cement

  • Macklemore is a true poet.

  • I thinks it's funny cause the shoes that got stolen probably wouldn't fit on the guys the stole them

  • Comment removed

  • 408 people got murdered for their fours.

  • damn

  • PAYLESS. Need I say more for us broke kids?

  • makes you kinda mad at nike for having to be the best

  • great video... great lyrics... and the hook was fucking awesome.

  • Danm They Would Rob The Kid Murdered For Some Fours Now Thats Messed up

  • whats the name of those nikes? anyone can help. like the full name

  • @KiddoMercado the black cement 4's are the first ones, then infrared air max 90's, and the ones hes wearing in the gym are metallic jordan 5's

  • @KiddoMercado HYPE BEAST!!!

  • this video is hard!

  • holy gwakaMOLEy

  • all i got is nikes suck ass right

  • i took it that he was reflecting on the irony of how our world puts so much value into material things rather than on the people who posess them. The power of effect in the video is stronger because it shows a young boy realizing this. The shoes are a symbol because they are the meterial possession that are associated with feet, which literally take you wherever you go in the world. He challenges and encourages his audience to take their shoes off and experience all you can ...which in open mind

  • 1:35

  • the top comments are pathetic

  • It's about consumerism plaguing the minds of today's youth, using Nike as an example. Just because he's a rapper doesn't mean he's talking about the music industry.

  • In my opinion the Nike's are a symbol for the materialism that has swept across America.

  • how did he get rid of that birthmark?

  • @MrLogxan thats not him as a kid you retard

  • @CrAzyy0121 No shit, its a fucking joke. I bet you feel really smart clearing that up for everybody.

  • @MrLogxan yeah im proud of my self feel like einstein

  • This song makes me wish I played basketball

  • I want to fly can you take me far away. Give me a stars to reach for tell me what it takes and i go so high, i go so high my feet won't touch the ground it stich my wings and pull the strings about this dreams there all fall down.. Je suis Française &Macklemore n'est pas connue en France, pourtant, il devrait.

  • @eziokilla9595 thats a good analysis i never thought about that. I think it could have something to do with that but to be the song is solely about shoes (no pun intended yes bad joke but i chuckled). i think it is reflecting on his childhood and how kids would go crazy and even kill for a pair of nikes or jordans (which still happens), when at the end of the day theyre just shoes and dont add anything to who you are and there are hundreds of other ppl with the same shoes so you dont feel unique

  • @ChunkyFlubber I was going to comment something similar, but I couldn't find words to express it, glad you came along(:

  • 406 had never something special.

  • YEAH... I LOVE BASKETBALL :)

  • I understood what happend with all those guys , the jappanese had eaten all of them!!!)), if they eat dogs then they can it human being too!)))) LOOOOOLLLLL,

  • very good song about shoes!!!

  • @ilkhamharzmiy its not about shoes. its about so much more than shoes

  • @ilkhamharzmiy So why is he on your fav? ;)

  • THUMBS UP IF UR WATCHING THIS VIDEO!

  • if only that kid didnt have that big ass mole on his neck

  • @butt hahahhaa

  • Its not about shoes, its about his life. All of his songs go deeper than the surface so listen to more of his songs before you say its about shoes, cause it obviously isnt.

  • look at what that swoosh did...

    agree with top comment although it doesnt really need a metaphor you could take it that way.

  • EPIC SONG!! :D

    

  • OAF 2012

  • Must Click Replay <3

  • Love This Song.<3

  • O-M-G, sooooo goooood !

  • Who needs eminem now a days!?

    

  • Retro 5

  • now this is real hip hop

  • so dope, stoked to see this guy in april

  • <3 The Return

  • This song is so amazing !

  • Whos here from Mrs.Autino's class>

  • Here's what I got from the video: The Nike Shoes are a metaphor for the music industry. If one person raps, people automatically think its the coolest thing ever, until someone else starts rapping, and so on and so forth. In the end, everyone had the shoes, and it wasn't special anymore. For a minute, people are in the limelight, but then someone else comes along and replaces them, until it becomes a cycle. In the end, Mack was reflecting about how all it is, is music. Tell me what you think?

  • @Eziokilla9595 that's a viable way to read into it. it can also just not be metaphorcial and just be a straight up rap against commercialism..

  • @alyaboushaca Just my thoughts. Never said it's factual. That's just what I got.

  • @alyaboushaca Finally, someone who understands metaphors.

  • @seyyerin How to understand a metaphor when its different for every person?

  • @Eziokilla9595 I thought the same thing. truth dude.

  • @krispylikebacon Thanks! Good thing I'm not the only one who feels this way.

  • @Eziokilla9595 Good opinion, but I think the meaning to the song is, that just because he has air max's, people think he's superior because of the shoes, but really his skills were in his blood, you fell me mate? I might be making no sense but thats the best I can explain it

  • @TehMegaGamer No, I got you. I was just stating what I got from it. It's probably a combination of both.

  • @Eziokilla9595 not even close...

  • @Eziokilla9595 Its just about the shoes. Stop over processing things.

  • @Matthew94R Sorry I offended you, but truth be told, I couldn't give less of a fuck that I offended you.

  • @Eziokilla9595 Whoa I didnt even say I was offended, dont get your panties in a bunch.

  • @Matthew94R You brought it up.

  • @Eziokilla9595 "Tell me what you think?" I tell you what I think , and then you get pissed at me for some reason. Grow up dude.

  • @Matthew94R You got pissed first. I said "Here's what I got from the video," which means its subjective. You approached it like your opinion was fact.

  • @Eziokilla9595 I think he was actually talking about the sneaker consumerism craze...

  • @Eziokilla9595 I disagree. Rapping doesnt make everyone think your the coolest. there is plenty of bad rappers that never made it...

  • @Eziokilla9595 well said kind gentleman.

  • @Eziokilla9595 but what does it mean when they steal his shoes? :p

  • @77BBOBCAT They kill them.

  • @Eziokilla9595 i would like to think so but he says at the end he wants to take his off and i dont think he wants to stop rapping, he just wants people to stop buying into society and to finally think for themselves.\

  • @Eziokilla9595 I like the way you think but I don't think its a metaphor for the music industry. I think its a metaphor for almost everything, you always want the newest thing cause they say its "cool" and you want to be unique. But if you have it you see others do it/want it so it is not special anymore, and then everything starts all over again. I think thats the cycle he talks about.

  • @Eziokilla9595 nope.

  • @Eziokilla9595 I thought it was less specific than the music industry, just about consumerism in general.

  • @Eziokilla9595 No the song's meaning is very literal, he's actually talking about shoes and how they are a symbol of social class.

  • @Eziokilla9595 my take was more that it was about nike/jordan and the empire they have built and the effect and grip they have people and society. the effect became so great that people began to kill each other over them. he said he was part of a movement. the product that nike had created and endorsed was so superior that they were able to keep people coming back for more no matter what the cost and reflecting back he realizes all of this and sees that it was really just another pair of shoes.

  • @crt1996 You, sir, get props and a thumbs up.

  • @Eziokilla9595 haha thanks

  • @Eziokilla9595 I went back until I found what you had said because there was a lot of comments about it, I would just like to applaud (hope i spelled that right) you for staying rational. Also i have never seen anyone take it that way it is interesting and I guess only Macklemore knows what the meaning is but I did not take it that way.

  • @hockingjr Thank you! Kind words, my man!

  • 403 people aint got nikes

    

  • @KidNamedCudi34 This song really isn't anything about Nikes

  • FAZECLAN SEND ME :)

  • ughhh I want those bred 4's so bad

  • @SoccerandReviews ...did we watch the same video?

  • Hey Eminem What You Doing There 2:11

  • what shoes are these?

  • Comment removed

  • one word : wow

  • Comment removed

  • This song is making me Sad everytime :/

  • This song explained almost part of my childhood. <3

  • Guy: Mom, I touch the net!

    Mom: I don't give a Fuck!

  • this guy rules

  • Like this if this song makes you want to get some Jordan IV's in memory of his friend that got murdered!!!!

  • Is it me or is this the PERFECT beat for Emeniem to rap off of???....But MAck def did this be some justice!!!...Keep it coming bro!!!!

  • i dont think he sounds anything like eminem.......his voice sounds a little like slug maybe.........anyways......son­g is super clean

  • @spairowe yeah ur right....he has his own unique poetic kind of flow....I think people mention Eminem because this sounds like a track he'd be on!!!...

  • @spairowe nah, if you wanna hear someone who sounds like slug listen to sadistik

  • there should be more M.F. music about shoes

  • @chim4260 eminem macklemore. Eminem is a sell out nothing like this guy is. Insult to call him eminem

  • No one should have their nikeys stolen

  • Splash 2012 ich komme :)

  • so wait is macklemore the dude rapping and if so who is ryan lewis i just got turned on to this dude or dudes

  • 403 people don't have J's.

  • Uh Oh... About to be mainstream. READY?

  • America, it begins.

  • he was no where close to touching the net :P

  • Nice track but he's clearly imitating Eminem. The whole pause with a "damn" and continue and the kids singing in the background.....

  • @chim4260 Oh, and he's white, so that means he's copying Eminem, right? If he legitimately sounded like Eminem, then that statement would be fine. But he doesn't. Comparing white artists to Eminem, on the basis that they're white, is superficial.

  • @chim4260 Wow dude... You OBVIOUSLY know NOTHING about Macklemore. For you to make a statement like that is like saying every black rapper imitates Biggie or Pac. GTFO!

  • its been 23 days know and i cant find @jcgator15 s comment so i might as well kill myself

  • Thats the worst feeling, walking into school with some new kicks, thinking your the only with them and then you see someone else with them. Happened with my Lebron 9 Freegums, Jordan 7 Orion, Hyperfuse 2011 Oreo, and probably will happen with my upcoming Electrolimes

  • All this talking smack about who's a better rap artist and who has better flow and rhyming is such a waste of breath. Who care's about the "better" artist? I love listening to Macklemore and I think that he says a lot of things that WE could ALL learn from. I think all this fighting over the internet (which is rather cowardly) about the better artist is the opposite of what real Rap is about. If you're fighting over the better artist you need to sit down and grow up. Quit wasting your time.

  • @WCJCB20 One of the few intelligent posts I've read on youtube. Well done mate .

  • @TheBlAacKieChaN Thank you. It gets so tiring getting on YouTube for music that I enjoy and then checking out the comments just to see people bicker about nonsense. It's especially frustrating when a another fan of the same music I love is completely going off on someone else; even more so when it's over a song like "Wings" and an artist like Macklemore- Just goes to show that people don't let good music change you, they just like to pretend. Seattle Pride=Macklemore

  • Splash! 15

  • i like this song.. accidentally stumbled across it... thumbs up.. check out my channel ppl.. first song ever.. like,subscribe, comment.. thanks!

  • Man, I've listened to this song countless times and it still gives me goosebumps

  • Stop KONY!

    KONY 2012!

  • I dont geti it, this song and video has 2million views, but for sure, f**king lil wayne with his shit has 50million views... I love this song...

  • If you go to 3:30 in this video i go to that school! LOL :P

  • SPLASH FESTIVAL 2012

  • I don't bout y'all but I like this dude. He speaks real shit. He raps more like its spoken word or poetry. And I like it. It's his own style

  • @YungMula81 So basically he made it on the list without dick riding. Yeah I agree. Can't say the same for anyone else on the list besides Hopsin. You really don't know shit about hip hop do you? In your mind everything has to rhyme exactly. Why don't you go listen to some Dr. Seuss on tape? Maybe that'll satisfy your childish mind. Your the listener but you don't speak for everyone idiot. If you don't like it then oh well who gives a fuck. Now back to the YMCMB vevo with your ignorant ass

  • @starlessnature He got ownd! ;D

  • @starlessnature I like Macklmore and Hopsin, who else is on this "list"?

  • i just want to know why this dude is trying so hard, and he still cant flow/rhyme/stay on beat

  • @YungMula81 lol you are gay. Enough said, I mean your name alone speaks.

  • @YungMula81 Are you deaf bro ? Her flows ... can you hear the passion in his voice when he raps ? I can guarantee that other people agree with me

  • Dont do kony here evrybody knows go to a diffrent video for kony

  • @louderspeeker KONY 2012! ;D

  • This Song Is Way Better Than Eminem Not Afraid

  • i realate to this sooo much!

  • jordans are dope tho...

  • @tannerN69 They're gay.

    enough said....

  • @ImBlockedFromFB haha okay man it;s just an opinion and you can shove yours right up your ass. Jordans are tight. enough said.... and macklemore is wearing jordan 5's..

  • @tannerN69 They're still gay though..

  • I never got top comment before! I feel bad for picking on that inbred guy tho...

  • kinda reminds me of sage francis.

  • KONY 2012

  • KONY 2012

  • bad

  • Imagine if him and Slug (Atmosphere) got on a track...

  • Damn...dis dude is worse din Mack miller nd wut iz he like in his fukin 40's?

  • @RainMan14561 Lol whats wrong with being 40 ?

  • @RainMan14561 the difference between you, Mac Miller and Macklemore though is that they're actually going somewhere in their lifes.

  • Comment removed

  • @RainMan14561 Ironic how your name is rainman. I'm sure that went right over your head.

  • Adidas have only three stripes... guess they didnt want to advertize hem ;-)

  • Guys come on Kony 2012, if you dont know who he is, look him up, he needs to be stopped, like this so people can see this, we need peace in this world and the only way to make that happen is to let people know!!!!

  • @mellamozeus Yes, he needs to be stopped. The Obama Administration has been active in this area for a few years now. It's not jut since the last 24 hours. Human rights violations, war crimes, genocide, racism, child slaves, world hunger, famine, cancer, HIV, obesity, and many other problems need to be sorted out, not just Kony. So instead of shouting STOP KONY and whatnot, try supporting WORLD PEACE instead.

  • lmao people areee suckers, theyll fall for anything that sounds like theres soul behind it, but tbh theres not one dope rhyme in there

  • @lemonlimelukey Yeah you're right. There really aren't quotable rhymes or anything, but the production is on point and the lyrics paint a vivid image imo. Which I think amounts for a lot of soul

  • Macklemore you are my biggest inspiration every morning when i do my workout and listen to this song the only thing i have in my head is that im gonna reach the top and show them all haters that ill beat them !
